WASHINGTON – Secret Service officers have subdued two men who refused to get out of the street as President Barack Obama's motorcade was returning to the White House. Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan says Obama was returning Thursday night from a school event for one of his daughters when the men refused to move out of the way of the presidential motorcade. A uniformed Secret Service officer was seen lying on top of one man and another officer wrestled with the second man.

Maybe the dudes didn't know what kind of "cade" they were blocking.

There's all kinds of cades, and there are rades, too.

Please do not assume that those of us who are not fans of Obama, would like to see him DEAD, i don't think this is the case, we may not like him, his policies, the way he handles his business in D.C. but to say that you feel someone you do not know personally, wants our President dead, to me is very serious!

Oh behave. Of course, I wish no ill to him or to his family. My only hopes are that he gets voted out of office in 2012.
